Cat6 Ethernet cableIncluded in kit

Flowstate CL260 edge nodeIncluded in kit

Customer provides:

1
Locate EtherNet/IP ports
The PowerFlex 525 has dual RJ45 EtherNet/IP ports on the front. Use either port (built-in switch for daisy-chaining).
2
Connect Ethernet
Cat6 from either drive port to the Flowstate edge node.
3
Set IP address
Use the HIM (Human Interface Module) or Connected Components Workbench: Parameter A103-A106 for IP, A107-A110 for subnet mask.

1
Enable EtherNet/IP adapter
Parameter C156 = 1 (enable adapter). The drive automatically responds to implicit messaging.
2
Configure assembly instances
Default input assembly (instance 101) provides speed feedback, current, status. Output assembly (instance 100) for control if needed.

1
EtherNet/IP identity scan
The Flowstate edge node discovers the drive via EtherNet/IP identity broadcast. Verify product name shows 'PowerFlex 525'.
2
Dashboard check
